  • Edmin Singh charged in Victoria arsons

Police in Victoria say they've arrested a man in connection with a series of arson fires this summer. 

Victoria police say the man was arrested on Sunday after a lengthy investigation by the force's major crimes section. 

They say 42-year-old Edwin Singh now faces four counts of arson in connection with four fires this summer, three of which occurred on Government Street in Victoria in June and July and one in Saanich in mid-August. 

Police say no one was hurt in the fires, but the incidents caused significant property damage.
